  • The Engagement of Local Residents in Destination Management Organizations
    The engagement of local residents in Destination Management Organizations Author: Anastasiia Permiakova Supervision: Stefan Gössling SMMM20 Master’s Thesis spring term 2012 Master’s Programme in Service Management, Tourism and Hospitality Department of Service Management at Campus Helsingborg, Lund University May, 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The process of writing the Master’s thesis was long and interesting journey. Investigation of Destination Management Organizations in Scania has provided me with an excellent opportunity to get a deeper insight into the field of DMOs’ activities, processes of decision making and creation of strategic planning. First of all, I would like to thank Stefan Gössling, my supervisor for giving me the right attitude and cheering me up all the way through. DMOs’ representatives in the Swedish province of Scania have certainly made a great contribution with their professionalism and experience in destination management. For this reason, I would like to thank the following DMOs’ managers for their participation in my research: Monica Frisk, Thorsten Karlén, Camilla Ekberg, Jenny Larsson, Sofie Svensson and Olle Lidgren. I was pleased with the opportunity to interview them. I would also like to express the gratitude for Scanian local residents who have discussed with me their views and opinions about the tourism development in Scania. With regards to Kajsa, Evelina, Jonatan, Denis, Christofer, Annika, Sven, Kristina, Elizabeth, Volkmar and Britt. Finally, I am grateful to my parents and friends, who have supported me continuously throughout my studies and during the process of writing this Master’s thesis. Special thanks go to my dear friend and comrade Aliona Borschevskaya. Ambiguity of words is an invariable feature of ambiguity in thoughts.

The paper discusses the importance of the spatial dimension in the conceptualization of social integration. Design/methodology/approach – The main method is a qualitative case study based on observations of settings, document/video analysis, online diary entries made by ten residents and eight semi- structured interviews conducted with the residents. Findings – S€allBo was conceived as a new type of collaborative housing in which elderly, young locals and refugees share common spaces with the aim of enabling social integration. In this context, COVID-19 interrupted the ongoing processes of living together after four months of moving to the house. The three main themes that emerge from the empirical material are (1) changes in the use of common spaces and social interactions, (2) residents’ resilient coping responses during the pandemic and (3) insights for future design of collaborative housing based on their experience.

  • Implementation of Quiet Areas in Sweden
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Implementation of Quiet Areas in Sweden Gunnar Cerwén 1,*,† and Frans Mossberg 2 1 Department of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 230 53 Alnarp, Sweden 2 Sound Environment Center, Lund University, 222 10 Lund, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Parts of this work have been presented previously at the 2018 Euronoise in Crete, Greece, and the 2018 AESOP Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden. The study has also been described in a research report entitled “Tysta områden i Sverige” from the Sound Environment Center at Lund University, Sweden. Received: 26 November 2018; Accepted: 20 December 2018; Published: 7 January 2019 Abstract: The notion of quiet areas has received increasing attention within the EU in recent years. The EU Environmental Noise Directive (END) of 2002 stipulates that member states should map existing quiet areas and formulate strategies to keep these quiet. Quiet areas could play an important role in balancing densified urban development by ensuring access to relative quietness and associated health benefits. This paper reports on a recent study investigating how the notion of quiet areas has been implemented in Sweden. The study, initiated by the Sound Environment Center in 2017, was carried out in two phases. In phase one, an overview of the current situation was obtained by scrutinizing regional and municipal mapping initiatives, aided by a short digital questionnaire sent out to all 290 municipalities in Sweden. This provided a general understanding and highlighted initiatives for further study in phase two.
